 Michael Moore, Will You Marry Me? Filmmaker Michael Moore took home the Best Documentary Oscar last night for Bowling For Columbine, a movie about gun violence in the United States. He received a standing ovation from many in the crowd as he took to the stage and his acceptance speech didn't fail to disappoint.
"We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elect a fictitious president," Moore said. "We live in a time where we have a man who's sending us to war for fictitious reasons, whether it's the fiction of duct tape or the fiction of orange alerts. We are against this war, Mr. Bush. Shame on you, Mr. Bush. Shame on you!" Moore said. Some in the crowd applauded his sentiments, some booed but his message was heard by a billion people last night, an awesome accomplishment in an era of a government propaganda-driven U.S. media. Thank you Mr. Moore for having the guts to voice how many of us are feeling right now.
Here We Go Again: It looks like a US/British war with Iraq is inevitable. Dubya's addressing the American public tonight on television and, as most of us knew, he had no intention of ever going the diplomatic route and letting UN inspections continue. Like his daddy before him, he's a war monger and he was going to bomb Baghdad with or without a resolution from the UN. In the past few weeks, I have been called a pinko, a commie, a terrorist and now a leftist whackjob for my very verbal anti-war stance. I guess I'm in good company. Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday that a war to force Saddam Hussein to disarm would imperil world security. "We are for solving the problem exclusively by peaceful means," Putin said, according to the Interfax news agency. "Any other development would be a mistake -- fraught with the toughest consequences, leading to victims and destabilization of the international situation as a whole." Canada will not participate in a war on Iraq that does not have the support of the UN Security Council, Prime Minister Jean Chretien announced Monday. "If military action proceeds without a new resolution of the security council, Canada will not participate," Chretien said to loud applause in the House of Commons. Pope John Paul II "Faced with the tremendous consequences that an international military operation would have for the people of Iraq...I say to all: there is still time to negotiate, there is still space for peace." For once I'm actually agreeing with the pope on something. But is there really still space, still time, for peace? I highly doubt it.
by starvingkitty Someday your looks will fade and you will become fat, not fat like you are already but Wal-mart fat. And no woman will come near you with a ten foot pole, and you'll be too poor for hookers. Soon you'll be living on the streets, making a living as an organ grinder. You'll try to train your monkey to perform oral sex, but all you will get for your trouble is a few scratches and a broken heart. Your monkey will run off with a bag lady, and nobody will throw you quarters without a cute animal around. So you take apart your organ and try to impress people by eating it piece by piece, like that guy in the Guiness Book who ate a car. But nobody cares, and it hurts like hell coming out the other end.
Dear Neighbours
I received this letter (written by Rick Mercer, the host of Talking to Americans on CBC) as an email attachment from two different people, both Canadians of course. It seems fitting I post it today, after being forced to sit through George W. Bush's shameless promotion of his war on Iraq on television last night. On behalf of Canadians everywhere I'd like to offer an apology to the United States of America. We haven't been getting along very well recently and for that, I am truly sorry. Apparently, this letter was not written by Rick Mercer - it was written by Mercer's "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" replacement, Colin Mochrie. This does not mean I don't want to have Rick Mercer's babies anymore, because hell, what woman wouldn't? I would, however, like to apologize for any confusion this may have caused, although it doesn't make much difference - the sentiment is still the same.
